The river itself here was probably more beautiful than the falls.
There was a group of people there while we were there. One of them, a chubby hairy middle aged guy, was doing cannonballs off a rock into the plunge pool. Julie got a mid-air shot maybe she'll post. :)

I was looking for the "elevation phenomenon" described in the waterfall list. I couldn't find anything unusual. :?:

Ladies and gentlemen, George "The Animal" Steele.

oh, Julie just pointed out that in my straight on falls shot, the rock the falls is spilling over looks as though its sort of bowed upward. I guess that's the elevation phenomenon. It's an optical illusion.
